There is something about ushering in a new year that brings about the sense of possibility, excitement for a fresh start, a time to reflect as well as look forward. As we embark on our 25th year as a community, look for ways to celebrate throughout the year, like donning your cowboy hat for a boot-stompin’ time at this month’s DC Ranch Day. Share your favorite memory of life on the Ranch by submitting a photo or written story to history@dcranchinc.com for the Historic Committee’s digital scrapbook.
Enthusiasm is building for all the upcoming activities on the radar in the Valley. Visitors and residents alike will converge to enjoy major sporting events including the WM Phoenix Open golf tournament, Barrett Jackson auto auction, and the Superbowl in early 2023. Cheer on your favorite golfer, car, or team at the many activities that are planned on and off the Ranch. See pages 10-11 for details.
Speaking of teams … if you want to be part of the team that governs DC Ranch, apply to serve on a board of directors for the Ranch Association or Community Council. These two resident- and volunteer-run boards set policy and direction for DC Ranch, carrying out the vision “to serve residents and create a community that is beautiful, functions well, and creates a deep sense of belonging.” Learn more at DCRanch.com.
Cheers to an amazing 2023 on the Ranch!

The Community Patrol & Gate Access Committee has made initial recommendations to the Ranch Association Board of Directors that will increase the welfare of residents and the community at large. Successful meetings in September and November provided guidance to the Association team on how to move forward with managing general resident concerns and enhancing communication to neighborhoods. For more information, view the meeting minutes on DCRanch.com. The committee welcomed Officer Robert Katzaroff of the Scottsdale Police Department who reviewed crime statistics for North Scottsdale and offered direction for calling 911 versus when DC Ranch Community Patrol should be contacted. The Ranch Association is grateful to the Scottsdale Police Department for their incredible partnership and quick response times. As Officer Katzaroff stated at the beginning of his presentation, everyone should live in a “safe community” and the residents of DC Ranch are tremendous allies to preserve the environment around the Villages.
The Ranch Association has implemented an easy way for residents to allow visitors access to gated neighborhoods with the use of QR codes.
The GateAccess.net portal allows residents to create a QR code for gate access and remove guest passes at the touch of a button. Through the website or smartphone app, residents can manage their account, generate guest lists for specific events, create a limited time pass for a vendor or contractor, and generate a gate access pass, which then can be sent directly to their visitor or guest via email. Along with providing gate access to guests, the QR code gate access pass will also inform visitors about DC Ranch speed limits, parking guidelines and approved gate entry times. Visit GateAccess.net, download the GateAccess app on your smartphone, or contact Community Patrol at 480.397.9659 to set up your account.
Call 911:
• Medical emergencies
• Imminent danger
• Criminal speeding (20mph over posted speed) on public roads such as Legacy Boulevard and Thompson Peak Parkway
• Burglaries, break-ins, theft, robbery
• Physical altercations, assault, battery
Contact Community Patrol:
• First aid for minor injuries
• Suspicious persons (non-criminal activity)
• Speeding within gated neighborhoods
• Parking violations
• Gate access issues and transponders
• Dogs off leash
• Lost pets

But most merely paraphrase, curtsying to Champs Elysée, Galeries Lafayette and Forum. I bypassed these grand dames, as I set out for unique shops in my favorite summer city. Focusing on small businesses, I met the proprietor in each place and was delighted with my findings.
Fueled by Chez Julien pain au chocolat, I hunted high-end. Thrifting in Paris has economical options such as the Kilo Store, that weighs clothing, and prominently displays “Reduce Reuse Recycle.” There’s also FREE’P’STAR stores in the Marais that vibe San Francisco. However, luxuries abound in top-notch resale; after all, who dresses better than the French? They’re also not as tiny and trendy as Italians, so items are more likely to fit an American, or be a classic.
In the Montorgueil district, passing through the lovely, covered arcade of GrandCerf, built in 1825, shoppers find Ale Paris , which carries only items in meticulous condition. Rows of Hermes, Chanel and the like meet the eye. The cheery proprietor is a kind man who was happy to help. He apologized for the lack of air conditioning, as if that were a unique trait in Europe. He had the goods! Second Hand had mostly clothing, spanning more moderate but still upscale taste. Opulence Luxury & Vintage offers top designer handbags. I was
done popping tags and sought other types of purveyors.
Chic boutique Luka Luna is a wonderful spot for unique, artsy gifts and souvenirs, from painted trays to neon bulbs saying La Vie en Rose. They had fun, funky attractive art and knick-knacks.
Crossing to the Invalides, in a world of its own is Tibermont Antiquites & Bijoux . The tall, formally dressed proprietor is clearly a classicist, but had a ready laugh. He carried turn of the century and art deco paintings, Dutch old masters, fine European ceramics and a queen’s trove of jewelry. My favorite was a diamond tiara of snowflakes, fit for Elsa.
Lastly, ever wondered who makes stationary for royalty, the Kennedys, sheiks and Sophia Coppola?
Graveur Olivier de Sercey, since 1870. This tiny store is hung with samples from the aforementioned. Old school printers and engravers, they can cut a block for your order for €800, and everything is custom.

The Silverleaf Club proudly displays new artwork located on the entry level of the Clubhouse. This original artwork was painted by Silverleaf member Anthony Wang.
At 15 years old, Anthony is quite accomplished as a teen meditation instructor, the founder of 2TMeditation YouTube Channel, a student and artist. Anthony began painting at the age of 5 and has always been inspired by the surroundings at DC Ranch where he has been a resident since he was a young child.
Anthony has been captivated by the golf course, how green it is and how it blends seamlessly into the desert. It took Anthony about six months to complete the series of oil paintings for the Club. The paintings were created from memory through his own interpretation of how he saw the various landscapes.
In Anthony’s own words: “My four art pieces of the Silverleaf landscape reflect upon what I experienced: A beautiful oasis in the desert, the breeze that invites the lips to smile, the majestic views, and the appetizing aroma of the Clubhouse.”
The Club is honored to showcase Anthony's artwork in the Clubhouse for all to see.
Salcito Custom Homes has submitted plans to construct an office building in the DC Ranch Corporate Center, lot 12. The two story, 20,000 sq. ft. building will house not only Salcito Custom Homes and Construction but also Salcito Custom Design Group, Salcito Concierge and a new, elite car service. Construction is expected to begin this quarter with an occupancy date of mid-2024. Salcito Custom Homes was one of the first builders in DC Ranch and has built more than 100 homes in the community.
In November, the Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce awarded the DC Ranch Community Council the 36th Annual Sterling Award in the Small Business category. The Sterling awards acknowledge Scottsdale organizations that demonstrate excellence, innovation and community stewardship.
The 2023 Super Bowl LVII will take place at State Farm Stadium in Glendale on Feb. 12. This marks the fourth Super Bowl played in Greater Phoenix since 1996. It is among the world's mostwatched single sporting events. With thousands of visitors expected, this adds to an already busy season for Scottsdale.
The Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee and National Football League announced an expanded line-up of events taking place in the lead-up to Super Bowl LVII on Feb. 12. Jay Parry, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee and Peter O’Reilly, Executive Vice President, Club Business & League Events of the NFL shared the extensive footprint of Super Bowl events taking place across the Valley.
“We are thrilled to be hosting the first-ever Official Super Bowl Watch Party in downtown Phoenix on gameday,” said Parry. “Locating Super Bowl events throughout the Valley is a testament to the collaboration and leadership of our partners and elected officials, with each community having something unique to offer visitors and locals.”
A study completed by the Seidman Research Institute, W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University, determined that Super Bowl XLIX, the 2015 Pro Bowl and related events produced a gross economic impact of $719.4 million in the region; including 175,000 passengers through Sky Harbor Airport and 500,000 attendees to Old Town Scottsdale.
“Arizona will provide a unique backdrop for a weeklong celebration heading into Super Bowl LVII which will culminate what is proving to be a remarkable 2022 NFL season,” said O’Reilly. “We look forward to providing an incredible Super Bowl experience for the Arizona community, our players, Clubs, partners and fans.”
• 70,000 fans are expected to attend the game.
• More than 100 million people watch the game each year as the second most watched sporting event in the world.
• A 30-second commercial during the game costs $6.5 million.
• Super Bowl Sunday ranks #2 in largest day of food consumption in the U.S.
• It is said that 1.3 billion chicken wings will be eaten, 11 million pounds of potato chips, 4 million pounds of pretzels, and 8 million pounds of guacamole.
• Today, a Super Bowl ticket costs about $9,000, but the first Super Bowl game in 1967 was only $12.
• The New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers lead the Super Bowl with six wins each.
• Miami and New Orleans have hosted the most Super Bowl games.

The McDowell Sonoran Preserve is one of the largest nature reserves in the country with over 30,000 acres and more than 180 miles of beautiful desert trails. The Preserve is home to over 730 types of plants and animals. It’s a must see, but with so much to explore, what’s the best way to see it?
Located in DC Ranch, the REI Co-op Adventure Center highlights the Sonoran Desert landscape through an assortment of rentals and tours like hiking, mountain biking, and even rock-climbing tours.
One of the most accessible ways to see the Preserve is on foot. With numerous hikes ranging from beginner to advanced levels, anyone can enjoy the charm of our desert. At the Gateway Trailhead guests can absorb knowledge on local plants while strolling through the informative nature loop. For added miles and a bit of elevation gain, proceed to the Gateway Saddle. On the other side of the Preserve, intermediate to advanced hikers can find their way up switchbacks to the top of Sunrise Trail for panoramas of Four Peaks wilderness and Fountain Hills.
Those who want to see more in less time can do so on a set of rubber wheels! Brown’s Ranch, located in the Northern part of the Preserve, is equipped with views and amazing trails suitable for first-time riders and even the most skilled mountain bikers. With smooth, flowy, cross-country style trails, the Preserve is perfect for anyone who wants to see the desert on a bike. Expert riders can find a mix of beauty and adventure by making their way to the newly added trails out of the Pima Dynamite Trailhead or up and over to the trying Diablo trails.
Possibly one of the most thrilling ways to check out the Preserve is on top of some of the best rock slabs in town at Tom's Thumb Trailhead. Climbers have a wide selection of routes in this granite-filled mountain range. While this sport isn’t for the faint of heart, anyone interested in learning can enjoy the crag, during one of REI’s introduction to rock climbing classes.
The McDowell Sonoran Preserve is filled with things to see and do. Learn more about the Preserve through a tour or gear rental with the REI Co-op Adventure Center.

The McDowell Sonoran Preserve has many miles of trails from easy and short to difficult and long. Enjoyment of this beautiful desert is related to preparedness and common sense. Even a short hike with simple problems can turn out to be traumatic, so here are a few things to consider:
Know your physical limitations. If it’s been awhile since you stepped out for a hike, go a shorter distance than what you anticipate you can do. You want to feel good after the hike knowing you had energy to spare.
Be familiar with the trail you are hiking. Preserve maps provide distance between points and intersections as well as the elevation between them.
Check the weather forecast. Radio, TV and cell phone apps are all available to help you understand the forecast. It never hurts to stop during your hike to observe any changes.
Share your plans. Tell someone where you are going, who you might be going with and when you can be expected back. Any change of plan could increase the time necessary to help you, if needed.
Dress appropriately. A hat is always a must, no matter the season. Dressing in layers can give you the most options. Undoubtedly, proper footwear for the terrain is the most important piece of clothing you have.
Water is the most essential item to always have with you. If you have consumed half your water, turn around and head back to your starting point. Carry more water than you need; extra is always welcome when the unexpected happens.
A trail map along with the various trail apps available on your phone are excellent. The app Maprika has copies of the Preserve trail maps and it provides you with your exact location on the trail.
Hiking snacks will depend on the length and difficulty of your hike. Dried and fresh fruit, energy bars and salty pretzels will provide energy.
Your cell phone is very important, so make sure it is fully charged before you head out. Text messages can be sent even when the phone shows no signal. Most provide a flashlight that becomes very handy for a variety of uses.
Using headphones during hiking is highly discouraged. These reduce your ability to hear what is going on around you such as a hiker wanting to pass, a rattlesnake warning, the buzz of bees or the roar of thunder.
A whistle is small and easy to put in your pocket but can be heard over greater distances than your shouts.
Hiking poles add rhythm and balance to your stride and reduce stress and strain on your joints.
An emergency blanket is inexpensive and made of silver foil-like material. About the size of a wallet, it can easily fit in your pocket or pack and be used for shade or a poncho. Its reflective qualities also make them a valuable tool to signal for help.
Use your common sense, because being prepared and enjoying the great outdoors will make your hike exceptional!

The Village Health Clubs & Spas are partnering with RecycleBalls, a nonprofit that works with tennis clubs and fitness centers, to recycle used tennis balls instead of disposing of them in the trash. According to RecycleBalls, it takes tennis balls 400 years to decompose. Approximately 125 million used tennis balls end up in America’s landfills every year, which equates to 20,000 metric tons of methane-producing, near non-decomposable rubber waste. The Village realized the importance of doing their part to save the planet and is taking action.
The idea was first presented to Carol Nalevanko, President of the Village Health Clubs and Spas, by Irene Loeb and her nephew, Ryan Zerbib—long time Camelback Village members. Irene and Ryan wanted to partner with the Village clubs to provide a much “greener” solution for their used tennis balls while bringing together the Village tennis community to support the common goal of helping improve the environment.
Simple steps, such as placing bins courtside that make it easy for players to dispose of used tennis balls and prepaid shipping labels for those bins to be returned to the RecycleBalls facility in Vermont, have allowed this group to grow their base to over 4,000 partners across the country. And with the program’s lead sponsor being Wilson Sporting Goods, one of the largest manufacturers of tennis equipment, tennis players are realizing the importance of becoming part of the solution as well. Once the used tennis balls are returned to the facility, some are ground
up and the felt is separated from the rubber. The rubber crumb that is then created is called Green Gold, which is used in the construction of tennis courts and horse footing, with the goal of ultimately creating a variety of green products. Other balls are sold and reused as dog balls. The Village now offers courtside bins that will then be sent to RecycleBalls.
The DC Ranch Village offers lessons and clinics to improve tennis skills and leagues for players to challenge their game. Private lessons with their professional tennis pros allow members to get specialized training and keeps them motivated. For more information visit villageclubs.com or call 480.502.8844.
